[NSRCA-discussion] 2008 Season wrap-up

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

Well, I had around 200 flights this year.. Not including foamies.. Didn't take my gliders out to the slope, didn't finish my Imac plane. Did however finish my 3d plane just recently.. I also happened to throw in 10 pattern contests including the nats. 
Ummm. Well, edited 12 issues of the Kfactor (wishing I could get more pics and articles from everyone(hint hint), and bought a few new pattern planes. I focused fully on pattern this year and it paid off pretty well. I won the "pattern animal of the year" award here in D7.. I won District Champion in Masters. And 7th at the Nats.. 
Nats, yeah, I went to my first one.. What an experience that was.. I had so much fun meeting everyone. Still can't believe I made the finals at my first nats.. Can't wait to go again.. Hopefully the economy will pick up so I can.. If you haven't gone to the nats, it's a great experience. I highly recommend you try it.. Come over and hang out with the D7 crew for the most fun!!!!!!!!!

What a great year it was!!

Hi Scott.
Yes the list has been slow. I don't keep records but I think I attended 4 –
pattern, 1- soaring and 1- scale contest this past season.

Season wrap-up

  

Since
the list is slow… 

  

I’m
guessing I flew my last flight for 2008 today; it’s just getting too cold here
in New England !  So barring a warm spell,
I ended with 404 flights since April 17th.  Contests were a
little light with three district meets and the Nat’s.  Electrics worked
very well for me with battery cost currently at $2.91 per flight. 

(I
know, I know…it’s sick I count flights.  But that’s my aviation upbringing
and computer nerd side!) 

  

How
many flights/contests did you do this year?
